Introduction

Ironically this will not be the 1st post of my blog since my friend had to steal it from me but apologized by helping me set up a tagboard





Just a little intro to my blog




This blog as my dear friend mentioned is for legion, my life and contact work...




So do expect to see some stuff about Legion of Mary...




My fellow legionaries are also allowed to post in my blog and vice versa.


Since its my 1st post...i shall introduce you to my Mother.
Sorry for I am unable to post any pictures properly...when I find out I will post i promise..
Behold, the handmaid of the Lord
Mother Mary, She who comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, and to Satan and his demons, terrible as an army set in battle array.
Mother Mary is a very revered figure among us Catholics as we see her as the Virgin Mother of Jesus Christ.
We show devotion to her
We have her Legion...
And another of which is the Rosary
The Rosary is the main prayer of Mother Mary
It begins with one "Our Father", ten "Hail Mary" and one "Glory Be" which concludes one decade of the Rosary
The rosary has 5 decades...we meditate on the mysteries too..
There are 3..... wait...no correction 4.....The Joyful Mysteries, The Sorrowful Mysteries, The Glorious Mysteries and recently added by the late Pope John Paul II, the Luminous Mysteries.
Depending on the day, we meditate on different Mysteries.
Very few people realize the true power of the Rosary
Father Gabriel Amorth, chief exorcist of the Vatican writes:

One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism:
"Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how
powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end." The secret that makes
this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is both prayer and
meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin, and
to the Holy Trinity, and is a meditation centered on Christ.
I write in addition to the above: Please enunciate each word of the
Rosary clearly and distinctly. Do not¢ trample on the heels' of the words of anyone
with your words. Do not speak over the leader, if you are
following, or the responders if you are leading the Rosary.
Remember that they also are having a conversation with Mary Our
Mother and it is not polite to speak when someone else is speaking.
In the case of the public Rosary there are only two people
speaking, the Leader and the Responders. Each are speaking to their Mother and listening carefully to her
response within their hearts as they meditate on the scene before them in their
consideration of the mystery being spoken of and interpreted and
translated into their lives. Spread this powerful prayer of exorcism, the
Rosary which contains the Our Father, the Perfect Prayer, prayed
five times in the recitation of each set of the Rosary's Mysteries, backed up by the
powerful prayers of Our Mother who prays with us as we pray 53 Hail Marys.
The Eternal Father described to a group of us, through a Visionary Friend
of mine, what happens when we pray the Rosary, saying, "When you pray
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now....., the Blessed
Mother comes instantly to your side to pray with you. And she
does not come alone. She brings angels with her. And not just one
or two for she is the Queen of Angels, so choirs of angels come with her.
And she and Jesus are joined at the heart and cannot be separated so
she brings Jesus with her. And Jesus cannot be separated from the Trinity so He
Brings the Father and the Holy Spirit with Him. And where the Holy Trinity
is all of creation is and you are surrounded by such beauty and
light as you cannot imagine in this life. Your Mother comes as Our Lady of Grace
with her hands out-stretched. Rays of light emit from her hands piercing
your body, healing you and filling you with graces. This is your inheritance
which was poured out from the heart of Jesus on the Cross, when the
centurion pierced His Heart with the spear, into the only pure
vessel ready to receive such graces at that time, Your Mother. Now as you pray the Rosary,
or even just recite one Hail Mary, you receive your portion of these graces."
He also said at this time, "Anyone who goes to Marmora and prays
the Rosary cannot be touched by Satan." Is it any wonder that
anyone who prays the Rosary from the heart is so blessed and protected and
powerful in their prayers for others?"
There are also many other different prayers like the Catena, which joins every single legionary to our Commander and Mother, the Memorare, Hail Holy Queen.
Mother Mary intercedes for us to God our Father, If only we knew how much She loved us, we would kneel down and weep...
Children, honour thy father and mother, for this is what God wants
How beautiful, a mother's love is for her child.
Thank You, my Mother.
